Introduction

Divergent → Ochre plates move away from each other, form divergent bending. Glaciers are huge names of consolidated ice, which slowly flow as big rivers of ice.

Main Body

Divergent → Ochre plates move away from each other, form divergent bending.

(c) Ocean-Ocean → Ridge vulcanism, and mid oceanic rift by Mid Atlantic Ridge bw African & South-African Plate.

(b) Continent-Continent → Forms deep rift valley, is intermitted vulcanism.

Veq: Great Africa Rift valley

3Transform → When plate move parallel to each other, not creating any new thing. Causes Earthquake.

Veq: Great California Transform fault tectonics, through bends clay interaction cause disasters as well as shape morphology.

Glaciers are huge names of consolidated ice, which slowly flow as big rivers of ice.

Landform created by Glacial Action:

1Erosional:

(a) Horn → After erosion all side of a mountain top, the peak that remain. e.g. Mt Everest.

(b) Cirque → The hallow on one side of a mountain due to glacial erosion.

(c) Arete → When two cirque meet, a ridge like overlying line is formed called arete.

(d) Fjord → Valleys filled with infuncy sea water cap in Baltic region.

(d) Glacial valley → The main valley in which the glacier moves.

(e) Hanging valley → Valley formed by feeding channels to the main glacial body are hanging valley.

Depositional Feature:

1Moraines → While feeding, a glacier may leave unconsolidated rocky deposits. These are of various type:

(a) Lateral moraine → On the both lateral side of the glacier.

(b) Terminal moraine → At the end of the glacier earlier north.

(c) Medial moraine → The neck settled at the centre of the glacial valley due to gap in glacier.

(d) Glacial Plain → The vast plain left after receding is called glacial plain. Due to rapid melting of glaciers caused by Global warming, the nature acts of landform formation is disturbed. This might affect people lives.
